Hi kathleen When i was still living with my parents i used to use their Wireless connection from NTL. We had a router in the house because my brother's PC was the defailt one using it & then my PC was second in line. If you go for NTL broadband you would get a good deal with them & pay its rental as well as your TV bill. It is very good & sometimes it might be a bit slow downloading information but it depends on the browser of course. All the best for the weekend.
